Kevin Carmony, CEO of Linspire, writes: "With the recent news of several Linux vendors entering into partnership agreements with Microsoft (Novell, Linspire, Xandros), there has been much debate recently about two factions of Linux forming. Saying that Linux is going to be torn in two, makes for good press and lively debates, but this is certainly nothing new for Linux."

So this is similar to an earlier article on OSNews in March about the Linux Foundation. I'm more concerned about the "success" of Linux and the commercial distros http://www.teramari.us/node/15">pushing out of the way. All this obsession with winning market share, is it more important than the ideology at stake?
